I love this little shop…read more The staff are super friendly and helpful. One of my favourite things here are the potato volcanos!! It is a bacon wrapped baked potato with some cheese topping. Next on my "go to" list is the Guiness Steak pies. So easy to make and very flavourful. They also have chicken pot pies, steak and kidney pies and a few others. If you have a dog, well they have very nice bone marrow bones for your fur baby. Just pop in and see what may appeal to you. As I said, the staff is very helpful here.

These people have very questionable business practices. I just read a review that accused them of…read moremisusing copyrighted material on their website. I was in there at the beginning of the month and I purchased some steaks, a haggis and some other items. I called them back to order a 5 pound haggis. They were unable to get what I wanted and when I reminded them of our previous conversations where I told them that five individual haggis's were not acceptable because I needed a single haggis as a part of a Funeral ceremony they simply pulled up my past sale data and used the credit card information to process an unauthorized transaction?? Who does that? My family is trying to get ready for my Mother's Funeral this Saturday. I have no haggis, and a charge on my card. So on top of all of the arrangements that I've been dealing with this week I had to reach out to MasterCard and cancel my card for fear of further unauthorized transactions. Stealing people's copyrighted material is completely disrespectful, however putting through unauthorized charges while a family is trying to get ready for a funeral is despicable. As a consumer please keep in mind If a merchant tries to push a charge through just because they have your card on file from the past, but there was no new agreement or order, it's not valid, and you're absolutely within your rights to dispute the charge and demand a reversal. My advice...pay cash if you are shopping at The Meat Merchant but honestly the steaks at Costco are better and cheaper, and if you need haggis go to McComish's Wee British Shoppe in Orillia. The owner is an absolutely lovely chap and his steak and kidney pie is absolutely the best that I have had this side of the pond.

Friendly staff with an extremely strong knowledge of their products…read more This is Ontario-raised meat and HAND slaughtered in Toronto. No machines. No audio-recording. They have various cuts of meat such lamb, ox, turkey, beef and chicken. Call to find out if they have what you're looking for. In terms of pricing, some examples are (as of review-posted date): Angus beef liver 1lb - $9.95 Chicken stir-fry strips 1lb - $13.95 Lean ground beef 1lb - $6.99 Italian beef sausage 750g - $9.95 Angus pure beef burgers 6oz - $5.99 They also have Meathead brand products, Campfire brand marshmallows and halal Jamaican beef patties. I would see the Meathead Jamaican beef patties were comparable to Patty King which is my ideal standard. I like that they had a "Certified Humane" label on the door. I would recommend this shop. You will find it behind the huge 5-level parking thingy.

The service was excellent. I've been meaning to come here for about 2-3 years ever since I learned…read moreabout it back when I worked at Ambrosia grocery. Actually back in June when it was my birthday I had made the decision to come here or go to a Brazilian steakhouse. I did neither. Today however I decided that nothing would stop me I needed to learn if the rumour about Japanese wagu was true. The concept is that in the west we raise meat butcher it and sell it as is. In Japan they decided to selectively breed the meat to incorporate a more streamlined fatty deposit that not only brings flavour but tenderness. I knew I was going to pay a pretty penny. I opted out of the tenderloin and decided on a thin strip of sirloin steak as shown in the picture. At $56 it's the single most expensive piece of meat I've ever purchased. Make no mistake about it I knew I was getting f*cked but but I somehow didn't mind it when I paid. I didn't know if the owner was a man or woman so I'm not sure where the bulk of my money was going, whether it was to the store of Japan. Either way I was definitely fin-domed for those who know the crude terminally. The only question is: was it worth it? Well people say you should panfry for best flavour but I microwave over a Japanese curry csauce I got. I apologize if I dishonored you all through my cooking method. Anyhow the meat ended up being more tender and there was a more flavourful fatty profile but I did not but it didn't really melt in my mouth as reviews say (again microwave sorry). I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5. I feel like any decent marbled fatty steak or ribeye could come close but the Wagu was special indeed, so Famu gets 5 stars

Go big or go home! I am a HUGE fan of anything bbq'd. Hubby and I are always searching for the best…read morebutcher that sells all of our fav cuts. Last Summer we were craving some Wagyu cuts. We have tried a few places in and around Markham that sell Wagyu, but non of them blew us away. I decided to do a random search for Japanese Butchers and Wagyu and came across FãMu Inc. which is listed as "The only Japanese Butcher in Ontario". FãMu is the Japanese pronunciation of farm. They are all about animals that are pasture or free-run, raised without chemicals, antibiotics, hormones or animal bi-products. Located in J Town, an indoor/outdoor mall of Japanese businesses located On Steeles Avenue E near Woodbine in Markham. (LOVED the shops at J Town!!). We have had several great experiences with this shop since our first visit 9 months ago. Everyone in shop is very helpful and knowledgeable about all of the cuts they sell. Our first try of FãMu we purchased the A5 Wagyu Miyazaki Striploin. BBQ'd on the grill for 2 min on each side (as per the butchers recommendation), the cuts were bbq'd to perfection and just melted in our mouths. I have never eaten a steak anywhere that was so perfectly marbled and so tender. I would say it was easily one of the best steaks I have ever had! The next would be the Australian Wagyu Ribeye we picked up (15oz cuts). A little on the pricey side, but WOW, you get what you pay for and no better way to indulge in a perfect steak bbq. Some of the cuts of Japanese Wagyu they sell are: Kobe - A5 Kuromame Nagi - A5 Furano - A5 Miyazaki (Miyazakigyu)- A5 Hokkaido (Tokachi) - A5 Various Regions Of Japan - A4 Plus ~ Australian Wagyu, US Wagyu, Chicken, Berkshire Pork, Wagyu burgers and Wagyu slices for Sukiyaki Hot Pots and more! During 2 of our recent visits we also tried their Double Wagyu Beef Bowl. Thinly sliced pieces of Wagyu seasoned with in store made terriyaki/soy sauce over a bed of steamed rice. Small portion for the cost, but filling and THE most tender beef bowl you will ever try! Not sure about which cut to try, visit their website and you can get detailed info on each cut, you can also stop in and ask or order online. In shop everyone is very warm, friendly and happy to help if you have any questions.

This place is slightly hard to find. It's located in a dogey plaza in the east end of Markham. I…read moreonly found out of this place through a friend because she brought in some really tasty meats for our last BBQ. I don't think I would have ever stepped into this place otherwise. Once you enter in, someone greets you and asks you what you want. Everything is pre-bagged so you just tick off which meats you want and they pull it out of the tray or fridge for you. I ordered a bag of kalbi ribs, two bags of chicken thighs in different flavours. I don't find the kalbi really tasty for some reason. Maybe the marinade is too light but I wasn't a fan of the texture of the meat either. The chicken thighs on the other hand kicked it out of the ball park. The curry one is soooo juicy and delicious and I love the flavours. Prices are pretty good too. I can't remember exactly how much it was but I think the 3 bags were under $30 and they were more than enough to feed a family of 6.

Tried this place once to get meat for bbq and got the beef short ribs, lemongrass chicken, squid,…read moreand chicken wings. Everything is marinated beforehand so this would be great if you planned a last minute bbq. I would get everything but the squid again. The squid didn't have any unique flavour to it and was quite bland in my opinion. If you get it I would recommend adding some sauce prior to putting it on the grill. As a side note, the shop's location has changed, which is shown on a notice at the door. They are located at another unit, called Ah Fong, in the same plaza. The plaza itself is super run down but don't judge a book by its cover - the meat here is amazing!

This is the quintessential local butcher. They run a nice operation and actually have sides of…read morevarious types of meat hanging in their fridges. They feature meat that is at least AA and mostly AAA. It is well-aged and nicely presented. They will naturally trim and cut according to directions. This place is at least on a par with Bruno's, but with lower than Costco prices. It started off as a Greek butcher and deli. It is still operating as that, with a lot of Greek and Mediterranean offerings. They have had a change in ownership in the last year, but have remained true to their pedigree. At Thanksgiving they feature fresh free-range grain fed turkeys. I am not generally a turkey fan, but last year bought one and it was outstanding. We use this place for a variety of steaks, especially my favourite skirt steak. Their trimming skills are non-pareil and they are truly nice and helpful. You must try their souvlaki brochettes. They are meaty and very reasonably priced. They naturally also carry a nice selection of cheeses and some deli, with a garlic head cheese being the star of the bunch. And you can peruse the aisles for all kind of specialties....A lot of fun and really good 'eats'.

I was excited that Markham has a new butcher shop but was disappointed when I walked in…read more There was very little meat on display and the prices were not posted. The small store had a fresh tray of fresh sausages and said they had more meat in the back. They had a fridge of drinks and some kitchen supplies. On the positive note, the owner said that they will price match any advertised meat in the city. They can order and get the cut of meat that a customer is looking for. They said they guarantee the meat source to be high quality and reputable. I ordered a beef brisket from them that arrived the next day. The owner only brought one into his store, and said we didn't have to take it. We bought it anyway and enjoyed the quality of the meat that we bought.. I don't know how the business can sustain if the butcher doesn't bring more meat in, particularly if customers want something on-the-go. Hopefully things will improve. It's a good place if you want to place an order for something in particular and get a great price on it, or don't mind buying what the store happens to have in stock. My rating will improve as the owner works out the kinks of the business.
